Danielle J. Kenny - McCrink
Chief Growth Officer
As Chief Growth Officer at The Design Loft, my focus is clear: grow the brand, fuel the pipeline, and keep our vision moving forward. With a background in marketing and sales, I build strategies that generate real results—rooted in who we are as a company.
My career spans multiple industries, but the common thread is growth—scaling teams, refining messaging, and finding where creativity meets conversion. While I’m not picking tile or sketching layouts (I leave that to the experts), I deeply appreciate the power of design to shape perception, evoke emotion, and drive decisions.
What drives me is turning a brand into a movement. At The Design Loft, that means more than leads—it’s about telling a story that connects clients, contractors, and designers. I focus on building partnerships, streamlining systems, and shaping our voice so we grow with clarity and purpose.
I may not be on the job site, but I’m fully invested in the foundation we’re building.
Timothy J. McCrink
Chief Operating Officer
At The Design Loft, our standard of excellence in residential remodeling is built on experience—and as Chief Operating Officer, I bring over 25 years of it. My journey started as a teenager working with my father and eventually led to founding my own general contracting company in 2016.
That early foundation shaped both my skillset and passion for the trade. Since then, I’ve built a career grounded in craftsmanship, integrity, and strong relationships. I earned my Georgia contractor’s license in 2018 and expanded into Tennessee in 2023, allowing us to serve a broader network of clients.
Today, I oversee all of our projects from start to finish, ensuring they meet the high standards our team is known for. I also lead the growth of our membership program, designed to support and collaborate with designers, contractors, flooring installers, and other industry professionals. It’s about creating lasting partnerships that raise the bar for everyone involved.
Whether I’m on-site or behind the scenes, I’m proud to help guide The Design Loft’s vision—one project and one partnership at a time.

His work across Georgia, particularly in the Atlanta metro and North Georgia areas, has helped transform countless homes into beautiful, functional spaces.

Ana Toro
Design Loft Associate
I’m passionate about shaping spaces that reflect who my clients are and inspire everyone who walks through them. I earned my degree in Architecture from CUA in Washington, DC, in 1995, and over the past 30 years, I’ve had the opportunity to work on a wide range of projects—from cozy homes to dynamic commercial spaces. This experience has helped me develop a balanced approach that blends technical expertise with creativity, which I love bringing into every design.
As a woman, mother, and wife, I understand the importance of creating spaces that are not only beautiful but also functional—places that feel authentic, livable, and comfortable. My favorite part of the process is listening to my clients’ ideas and transforming them into something meaningful, whether that’s a clean, modern aesthetic or a warm, traditional feel.
For me, design isn’t just a career—it’s a calling. I feel truly grateful to help bring my clients’ visions to life in ways that deeply resonate with who they are.
Ava McCrink
Design Apprentice
Ava McCrink is a rising talent in interior design, currently pursuing her degree at Mississippi State University. With a natural eye for aesthetics and a passion for creating functional, beautiful spaces, she’s already making her mark as a designer to watch.
Design runs in her blood—raised in a remodeling family, Ava grew up around blueprints, paint samples, and tile selections. That early exposure sparked the passion that now drives both her studies and her hands-on work at The Design Loft.
When she’s not on campus, Ava is assisting clients in our showroom with layout planning, finish selections, and design guidance. Her warm personality and approachable style make her a favorite among both clients and the team. Eager to learn and quick to contribute, she brings fresh perspective and energy to every project.
Ava may be early in her career, but she’s already shaping spaces—and experiences—that people love to live in.
